remember when you were a kid and you’d be reading history books or something and you’d see that someone was born in the 1890s and they seemed EXTRA OLD because they were born in the 1800s, and they were born at the very end of the 1800s but it still made them seem that much more ancient. like you could see someone born on december 31, 1899 and to you they seemed older than they would’ve if they had been born january 1, 1900
anyways today i was at my baby cousin’s house and he’s like 4 years old, and he asked when my birthday was and i said september 13, 1995 and he was like “wow you’re old” and i said i was only 22 and he said “but…1995. that’s OLD!!” and god…. i was born in the 1900s and the generation of kids who find that inherently old are being born. i knew it would happen but god it was a weird feeling.
but this also happens with us too…if you are a “1900’s kid” and someone says that they were born in the 2000’s its like….what do you mean that you are 15? You are five years old.
TRUE!!! like whenever someone says shit like “hello, i was born in the year 2000 and i’m 18 years old” it’s like nah you’re two. you’re two years old. you may only be about four years younger than me, but you are two.
listen we all know time stopped working properly in about 2007, and may have stopped moving at all somewhere between 2012-2014
